Overview

Mission

Immunize Colorado works to protect Colorado families, schools and communities from vaccine-preventable diseases.

What it reported doing in 2025

Community outreach and awareness: immunize Colorado's community outreach efforts build awareness among english and spanish-speaking parents about the safety and importance of immunization. We also share vaccine information with health care providers, parents, the media, and organizations across the country via print resources, social channels, the teamvaccine.com blog, and more.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 71% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
